So... this whole swine flu thing...
Yea, people need to calm the fuck down. Everyone's acting like this is gonna be the next pandemic. This is gonna be the one that really gets us. This is gonna be worse than the Avian flu, or SARS or West Nile or blah, blah, blah. Always a new disease, always something to be afraid of.
Yet, this swine flu, is nothing. I mean, it is a flu, and the flu sucks, but it's not deadly.
"But... but... but... people have died!" Yes, and people die of the normal flu yearly. People also die of strep throat and other curable diseases simply because they're immune system is not strong enough. Most of those people are either very old, or very young, and as sad as it is, those people are the most susceptible to most diseases.
Basically what I'm trying to say is, people need to stop worrying and shut up. It's not deadly, it's not gonna wipe out the world's population and destroy everything humanity has ever created. At worst, you'll get sick, it'll suck, and then you'll get better and go on about your normal life.
Now, I'm going back to my mind destroying TV,

from what i hear, the reason people are so freaked out is because they're running low on the flu vaccine, so blah blah blah. which is honestly sort of ridiculous, because the medical industry seems to run out of the vaccine every year. every time november rolls around, i always without fail hear my dad mention something about how he and his other doctor friends are running low on the flu vaccine so i should get one now. it's sort of dumb.
swine flu is a concern, but it should really only be a concern for people who don't have as advanced health care, which is why mexico has more cases than we do, and more fatalities. granted, it started there, but were its healthcare up to par (at least by american standards), it could have been curbed easily, i'm sure.
